Lighting Cobs

[Gertrude 2]

I'd say at current efficiency levels, 60watts of LED for every 100 watts of HPS/MH. The flexibility of COB tech makes them much more adapable to multiple situations/garden layouts, plus you can run the hard or soft, or anywhere in between You can build a light to get started, run it hard, then add more cobs and lower the power per cob,as time and money allows to improve efficiency.

Ok thanks, so my 300w of osram cobs not to far off a 600w hps then, has anyone used a r&b led panel combined with white cobs and would it be worth while? As have a grownorthern ms0006 I could throw in the mix?

some people like to add Red and Far Red leds. I don't personally believe its worth it. Depending on the size of your space, using the MS006 with it would be great.

Thanks pop22 ill do that then will add some more heat also as the cob panel don't throw much heat out! the grow space is a 1.2 tent.

Doing some searching, same setups that other sites and all are selling cob rigs... cobshop, etc you can find all the parts and build identical units for less then 50 each....or 200 for the whole 4x "tent" package listed there... thats a lot of cheese back in the wallet.
Deff worth the savings to DIY and build your own

Yeah thanks for your replies, I do like the auto cobs and plan to get some in time. I recently purchased a budmaster cob x 6 with the latest osram cobs and presumed it would equal a 600w hps, it runs at 50 watts a cob, so very happy with your replies

setup.
